Before you begin

With your MesArt account, you get an e-mail account, yourname@yourdomain.com (or if you don't own a domain, yourname@mesart.com). We can also forward the mail sent to this address to any other e-mail account of your choice, for example, to your account at Hotmail, Yahoo!, or Google Mail, or an e-mail account at your Internet Service Provider (AOL, Earthlink and the like).

To have mail forwarded to your other account

Make a request to set up an email forwarding to your another email address, like the address at your current Internet Service Provider. The mail to yourname@yourdomain.com (or yourname@mesart.com) will be automatically forwarded to this other email address.

To set up yourname@yourdomain.com or yourname@mesart.com address

  • Make a request for us to create a POP3 email account.
  • We will provide you a username and password for your new email account.
  • Here is the information you need to enter into your mail program:
Your username: Username that we will provide

Your password: Password that we will provide

Incoming (POP3) mail server: mail.mesart.com
Outgoing (smtp) mail server: smtp.mesart.com

Please note that incoming and outgoing mail servers both require your username and password. The outgoing server uses the same settings (username and password) as the incoming server.

To ensure password authentication is selected for the outgoing server, please check account properties in your mail program. Here is how to find the required option in your account properties:

Outlook Express: <Account Properties>: Servers: Outgoing Mail Server: My server requires authentication
Outlook: <Account Properties>: More Settings: Outgoing Server: My outgoing server (SMTP) requires
authentication Mac OS X Mail: <Account Properties>: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Server Settings: Authentication: Password
Entourage: <Account Properties>: Sending Mail: SMTP Server: Advanced Options: SMTP server requires authentication

Now you are ready to send and receive email with the new email address. The quota for email account is 30 MB. Attachment limit is 10 MB.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or difficulties.
